The “note” from Robin Lehman in The Valley Reporter of November 15 is much more: It’s a colossal, reasoned incentive for all of us to demand that President Obama shape up. With Obama and company elected, we avoided the greater calamity of empowering selfish plutocrats and Tea Party heads-in-the-sand.

Now, we voters must work to steer the president onto the moral high ground and to get results through forceful executive leadership. The close call of a feudal anarchy should energize us to get busy.
